Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are some concerns that the federal government has when their officials are meeting. They are concerned about the one model in the document, Partners in a New Beginning. As I said yesterday, there are other models that we have put forward that are being developed further by our staff so that, once consultation begins, we will be able to share that with the people in the communities. The concern of the federal government bureaucrats has to do with the model that is in there. We feel that it is an incorrect analysis that they have. It is not complete. They never really took a look at the other two models, when they made these conditions. At the meeting on Monday night, they were more flexible so that we will be able to go ahead and utilize the funding for consultation as we had planned. Thank you.
